Hey, the *book* is not nearly as good as LOTR but it's still a damn fine book, and so the movie I strongly hope.

That's unusual. I usually hear "I couldn't get past the first hundred pages of LotR, but I love The Hobbit!"

I found The Hobbit barely entertaining. It's so obiviously a) a moralising children's story, b) utterly reactionary and filled with an almost palpable distaste for the urban proletariat, c) told in a very boring way, and d) completely lacking in the qualities that redeemed LotR: The masterful and very anglo-saxon sense of nostalgia and greatness lost and long for.

That is me! I read the whole of the first book, I made mself gt through it after countless aborted efforts since I was a child. The Hobbit, on the other hand, is an annual read at least for me. Maybe the fact that it is wrote for children and everything else wrote about it here and everywhere else on the net is the reason it fits with me so well; I am basically like a child still and will never grow up!
